On the anniversary of Lobo, I can't help but think of a text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning it was announced Peter & I were the heads of DC Studios… - ThreadSky

Hey aren't you the guy that went to pedophilia themed parties hosted by a guy that was eventually charged with having massive amounts of CSAM, and who you used to joke with on social media about wanting to fuck little boys?

Momoa should be Savage Namor (Not Aquaman) and @dannytrejo.bsky.social in his prime should have been Lobo.

I love Lobo, but if Momoa plays him, all I’ll see is Momoa. It’s not a slight on Jason, it just is what it is. YMMV

I definitely think he has the range to do a lot comedy and dramatic. It just bums me out to see him go through what James went through, and to immediately step away, take full accountability for his past mistakes, proving how much he’s changed, and we just don’t know how he’s doing now

That's one of picks I thought would be a better cast as a seperate character; ie momoa as lobo/miller poor choice for BA. How bout new father Cavill as brave & bold batman? Bruce & Clark look alike in the comics.. And Geralt portrayal + U.N.C.L.E agent + his physicality shows promise for BW/BM.
